Annals of Quedlinburg

The Quedlinburg Annals provide an independent view of the years 984-1025. You have emerged in this period, but survives only in a single manuscript from the 16th century.

They contain a Chronicle of the World, based on the Annales Annales Hersfeldenses and Hildesheimenses maiores. In the section of the chronicle, there are many fabulous elements and partly gross inaccuracies, eg that is specified for Attila († 453) 532 as year of death. For this year, the throne Theuderichs I called, but was already 511. The entries are written in the annals from 702 form, from 913 to find their own formulations. For the period 961-983 there is a gap, from 984 the presentation of other known sources is independent.

For Lithuania, the annals are significant in that the first time they mention the country as " Litua " ( 1009).
